A Happy Monday Morning to everyone and a welcome to another image from the Hargrave Photographic Collection. When I saw this I thought it was from Norn Iron and we had seen it before - but according to the blurb it is much nearer Library Towers. Could this be true?...
.... And so today's contributors confirmed our hunch and have established that the catalogue label on this one is seemingly incorrect. Indeed it is not some previously undiscovered bridge in County Dublin, but the now familiar Egyptian Arch close to the border between County Armagh and County Down.
Photographers: Joshua H. Hargrave

Date: ca.1890

https://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley Makes me wonder if its even a Hargreave shot???? The "Blurb" is a liar it seems and sent us on a wild goose chase!

The wikipedia article - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacNeill%27s_Egyptian_Arch - says "The Egyptian Arch gained its name from its resemblance to the nemes headdress worn by Ancient Egyptian pharaohs." I see what they mean - [https://www.flickr.com/photos/tjflex/12557940214/]

The minute I saw it I said to myself 'the Egyptian Arch'. Can't be anything else. It even featured on our pound coin. www.royalmint.com/discover/uk-coins/coin-design-and-speci...

Thanks all - none of us are losing our marbles then (though it would be fun to roll them down the embankments here). Somewhat comforting to know that the there is no long-lost and undocumented sister-arch in County Dublin. Just the one we've met before outside Newry! Thanks all - can now sleep knowing that sanity is intact (at least for tonight....)
